Chapter Twenty-Nine: Cold and Wet
Beside her, another woman sat quietly, looking petite and cute, her eyes fluttering, and from time to time she showed a shy and shy look.
This woman's name is "Yang Yamei", born in a place called "Caochi Town" four hundred miles southeast of Nanjin City, her family is ordinary, and now she can pass the third stage and join the ranks of the strong, but her cultivation talent is not very good, and her achievements today are also because she has several times more hard work than others.
Since there were only two women in the team, Shangguan Li and Yang Yamei rode together all the way, and they had already understood each other clearly and became extremely familiar.
The two of them sat by the campfire for a while, and then walked together towards the lake, leaving only the wide-eyed eyes by the campfire, still silently watching their backs.
This lake is located in the north of Qinglong City twenty miles, there is an official road to the rock in the north, there is a small road leading to the mountains in the west, it is just located in the place where the three roads converge, so it is named "three forks", in a few years ago, it has nothing to do with the Central Plains, belongs to the territory of southern Xinjiang.
The night is getting thicker, the sky is like ink, looking up, there are endless starlight dazzling above the sky, the evening breeze blows, quietly, and whose long hair does it take?
When she was only a few steps away from the edge of the "Sancha Lake", Shangguan Li stopped, and she tried her best to look into the lake by the faint light of the moonlight and starlight, only to see that the lake was deep and quiet, and the lake surface was as smooth as a mirror.
Three or two aquatic plants struggled to straighten up their rhizomes and send their delicate buds and leaves into the air, hoping to bloom their unyielding qualities in this eternal fluctuation and sinking.
Shangguan Li saw the few tiny white flowers at a glance, and couldn't help laughing, the road ahead is unpredictable, how can people not be like this.
Yang Yamei was different, she also looked towards the lake, but saw that the lake was boundless and vast, and the lake was deep and dark, and only a small and panicked feeling rose in her heart, filling her heart, and there was nothing else.
A hundred paces away from them, there was a large tree with a leafy trunk like an umbrella, covering a large area of darkness, and a fat hand stretched out from between the branches and leaves, grasping an unknown long cylindrical object, facing the direction of the two women by the lake.
In the quiet of the night, a whispered voice suddenly sounded.
"Senior brother, have you seen anything clearly?"
I saw a young man climb up the tree at some point, his feet apart, and he sat on top of a branch, his hands holding a trunk in each hand, but his eyes were looking at the branch below that was a little closer to the ground.
"What's the hurry, good things are not busy!"
Faintly, a chubby figure appeared on the branch, holding a branch in his left hand, clinging to the trunk, and holding the unknown object in his right hand and placing it in front of his eyes.
After looking at it for a while, he suddenly handed the thing to his body, and there was a strange smile in his mouth: "Senior brother, you said that if I hide quietly in the dark and suddenly jump out, will I scare the two of them half to death?" ”
The "junior brother" is Cheng Xiaoxi, he took the long tube, and also put it in front of his eyes to watch, and through the tube, he could see things far away.
The two girls by the lake had their own thoughts, and they were still standing there quietly, not knowing that someone was peeping in the dark, and they didn't know that there was another person who took advantage of the night to cover up and had already touched the two of them, and they were about to come to them.
The person who touched the past was naturally He Fatzi, he was always dissatisfied with Shangguan Li, so he was definitely not an opponent in person, and he didn't dare to show it in the slightest, but the current environment just followed his heart.
He held his breath and cautiously approached from the side, feeling more and more excited at the thought of his imminent victory.
"If I don't scare you into crying, you don't know how to write the words you are afraid of!"
Finally, the two women still didn't find out, but still let him touch the front of him, He Fatzi was inexplicably excited, his fat body jumped out of the darkness and appeared in front of the two, a pair of fat hands were also waving constantly, and his mouth screamed.
"Ha~"
He Fatzi shouted, originally thought that this would scare the two of them, and he couldn't help but be very excited in his heart, who would have thought that Shangguan Li and Yang Yamei would be like prophets, suddenly turned around, looked at him for a long time, the atmosphere changed suddenly, and he only felt extremely embarrassed.
But seeing that Shangguan Li was dressed in white, looking fresh and elegant, she flattened her mouth lightly, two shallow dimples appeared on her face, and asked: "He Chubby, I'm afraid you have forgotten that cultivators still have divine sense!"
Hearing this, He Fatzi suddenly realized and understood the reason, he patted his head in annoyance, as if he was blaming him for forgetting such an important thing, and the fat face made a look of regret.
Cheng Xiaoxi kept looking at this side, the night was getting thicker, and he couldn't see clearly the telescope given by his senior brother, so he jumped down from the tree and walked over quickly.
When he got closer, he understood the situation, it turned out that the senior brother not only failed to do so, but was about to be unlucky, he felt a little sympathy in his heart, but he couldn't help laughing.
After laughing, he bowed his hand and persuaded loudly: "Sister Shangguan, my senior brother has no malicious intentions, can you spare him again." ”
Shangguan Li is two years older than both of them, and her words and deeds are naturally more mature and decent, she didn't get angry because of this, and she just wanted to scare and scare He Fatzi, she waved her hand towards Cheng Xiaoxi and said, "I'll listen to you this time, but if there is a next time?"
As she spoke, she looked at He Fatzi again, wanting to hear his answer in person. Cheng Xiaoxi saw that he was still in a daze, so he hurriedly kicked him, but seeing that his body trembled, he finally came back to his senses, looked left and right, and said suspiciously: "What do you see me doing?"
Cheng Xiaoxi saw that he was still so confused, he only felt that his mouth was dry, and he didn't know how to speak, he looked at Shangguan Li earnestly, his eyes were full of apologies, and he only hoped that she wouldn't worry about his senior brother.
At this time, Shangguan Li didn't say anything, and it seemed that she was a little speechless, but Yang Yamei, who was standing beside her, took a step forward, first looked at He Fatzi, and then looked at Shangguan Li and Cheng Xiaoxi, and then said with a smile:
"Since neither of us was intimidated, then this prank should not be taken seriously. It's not early, and the humidity by the lake is too heavy, so why don't you go with me to the carriage and drink a cup of tea to get rid of the chill on your body. ”
Yang Yamei said while secretly looking at He Fatzi, there was a faint light flashing in her eyes, she was wearing the clothes issued by the academy, her figure was uneven, and she looked enthusiastic and lively, showing even more youthful and beautiful.
Cheng Xiaoxi didn't feel cold, but when she spoke like this, it was also for the sake of exclamating her senior brother, so he nodded gratefully at Yang Yamei.
Only Shangguan Li understood something, she raised her eyebrows, and said in a sour voice: "Or Yamei has thought about it thoroughly, I really didn't think that the lake was cold and wet, and I needed tea to warm up!"
Yang Yamei listened to this joking, and hurriedly glanced back at Shangguan Li, only to see that her face was flushed, and she looked like she wanted to speak and stopped.
After getting along for the past two days, Shangguan Li also knew Yang Yamei's character: shy and shy, and simple and firm-minded.
And she was also very happy to see Yang Yamei's bold performance.
"Then let's go back!"
She looked at the three of them and said a word, and then took the lead in the direction of the carriage, Yang Yamei trotted a few steps to catch up, and walked side by side with Shangguan Li, the two nodded and shook their heads from time to time, as if they were saying something.
Cheng Xiaoxi turned around, handed the long-distance cylinder to his senior brother, and patted the dust on his clothes for him by the way, and then followed the second daughter to the carriage from a distance.
He waved his hand and said jokingly: "Let's go, senior brother, I'll go with you to get rid of the cold and dampness!"
......
The carriages are actually not narrow, because they are a long journey, so these carriages are made of a slightly larger space, and they tend to be a stable and comfortable type, and they have all the living materials inside, so even if they sit for four or five people, they will not look crowded.
Two beds were made for people to lie down, one on each side, separated by a narrow wooden table with an oil lamp on it, which provided light to the carriage.
These two beds are where the two women rest and lie at night, and Cheng Xiaoxi is sitting on one of the beds at this time, only feeling fragrant and soft, but he doesn't know who this bed belongs to.
Behind the bed, near the end of the carriage, is where the miscellaneous luggage is kept.
